In August 2026, several German and Austrian productions of Giacomo Puccini's opera "Tosca" are being featured. 

In Germany, the Haus der Kultur Waldkraiburg announced a new subscription program for the 2026-27 season including "Tosca," while an open-air performance was scheduled for August 8 at Schloss Braunfels to mark the 20th anniversary of Opera Classica Europa.

Simultaneously, the Oper im Steinbruch St. Margarethen in Austria reported increased attendance for its mid-season production of "Tosca." Directed by Thaddeus Strassberger and conducted by Valerio Galli, the production utilizes a former Roman quarry and features an international cast. The production's management noted that the inclusion of artists from various nations serves as a way to connect people across political tensions.
